Babe, wake up. The newest downgrade just dropped.
>>462362you know there is a reason why regular car dashboards and formular one race car cockpits have different interfaces?no need to claim superiority of one if they simply serve different user bases with different expertise and demands...
>>462367yeah that instant menu and search field able to show program titles ("firefox") / generic titles ("(web browser)") / 1 sentence descriptions and sorting applications by their usage frequency is just like an f1 racecar it's too extremeit's obvious that the gui needs to look like a bowl of candies of corporate branding and sort of like videogame with acrylic glass jellyfish animations that drop dozens of frames slowly rendered in a google chrome instance or the special needs office worker won't be able to populate the sprint velocity excel97.exe spreadsheet and the GUI designers will die
>>462368where i'm getting is that there is a lot of fluff these days that gets in the way of how straight to the point and technically efficient the computer gui could bewindows gui hasn't substantially improved since 2009 but they have time for this bs

Is affinity actually a good replacement for what it advertises? I don't mind paying for software so long as it's a perpetual license. I don't wanna give any money to adobe nor do I wanna pirate their software and risk getting fucked.
In Designer the pivot point for curves is placed in the middle of the spline. This renders the whole thing useless.

>>462380>gimpat least use krita, bruh...
OP here, I was almost thinking of getting and now they just outright removed the way to buy it like >>462380 said.What in the world?
You crackers need to learn how to pirate. I've been using Adobe products for years and never paid a dime. I wish I could also download a car.
You guys need to understand something, because when you ask "How do we bring this style back", for any aesthetic you want, you're not getting that these aesthetics didn't exist in a vacuum. They were there to advertise a product, or culture around the product.You won't bring any aesthetic back, you won't create any new kind of aesthetic, if there is no culture behind it. Otherwise, its just wall paper. You're in /gd/ GD is making wallpaper for a product or culture.You have to ask yourself, how is a culture formed, how a culture is made, and how does a culture persists. Because culture is what happens when you're not around. its self reinforcing by the people participating.None of you will bring any kind of aesthetic back without a culture.
>>462249I dont believe i said he was wrong about the tex avery stuff only that the things i was analyzing shot off it and took its own form.I dont know how im putting on a show of superiority though>nah im rightOkay maybe, but before that. Any authority i think i have is because i was researching on what cultures are and how buisnesses make a small culture to sell their products. Yeah, im not a college fucking professor, but engage with the toughts provided man.I think any air of authority you saw i was giving was a projection from your own insecurity. In all do respect. 90% pf whats said is how you say it, and the internet has stripped away tone. Youre reading what i said with the voice in your head, not the voice i use.
>>462251Nvm, forget it I lost my temper.I think what i said has merit, im going to keep my understanding and work in it, but i could have delevered it better.
I think there has to be a sense of novelty. It can't be a previously trodden path or else it feels like a spent energy, it feels like forcing something that has long since ran its course. Like a meme or music genre, it's not completely dead but its confined to a small clique of aficionados. It cannot captivate large portions of the population anymore so most people move on to something feels fresh and invigorating.Moreover it just feels forced. People naturally aren't inclined to make art like they did 20 years ago (which was largely impacted by the technological means that are no longer there). It's easier and more intuitive to just do what you're used to (generic flatshit) or do something new. People don't naturally do things that happen to faithfully adhere to bygone trends. Just just do whatever.And like a meme, it has to naturally emerge from the zeitgeist. It has to seem like the most befitting thing for the moment. The laser grids of the 80s just aren't gonna cut it for most people.Stuff like synthwave and vaporwave have a niche appeal that likely could never go mainstream. And even then, it is hardly a faithful implementation of retro aesthetics. They are more of a crude indulgence of stereotypes of the 80s & 90s for the purpose of escapism. It's not forward looking like the retro aesthetics that inspire it. These are dead genres for people who are dead inside.
>>462363Looking at OP and this, there just seems to be a sense of individualism on the internet that keeps people from blossoming a movement.People can hone in their own graphic design and style, but to get a great majority of others to follow is a really hard deal. And to have those other people following not seem like a cheap knockoff is harder. Think of AVGN clones.You're either doing something new, or knocking someone off, when you actually get enough skill to not look like an amatuer/everyone else.
>>462363>Just just do whatever*They just do whatever>>462373It might be the case that artistic trends will come to be less centralized over time resulting in a more diverse and compartmentalized landscape. AI is a big game changer too. The ease with which you can generate art might break the death grip Corporate Memphis currently has (which is mainly used due to how braindead & easy it is to create). Targeted advertising may reflect this, for better or worse. Sites that collect data about you may figure out what aesthetics appeal to you and generate ads accordingly. Web design might also similarly opt for a variety of AI generated layouts. I'm sure people are realizing how repugnant Corporate Memphis is to a lot of people. The world is bigger than the oversocialized bugmen and PMC drones that actually enjoy that garbage. I almost think its intentionally bad as a means of driving away interesting people thus lowing competition for themselves.
What were they thinking?
>>459032>CANDICKSurely can
>>459032I'm still waiting for the bottom of the logo to finish loading.
>>459032>Yeah let's just ditch our iconic instantly-recognizable logo for no fucking reasonI'll never understand why companies do this
It looks good, gives very tech and sci-fi feel to it.
>>459032i like how this logo comparison looks somewhat like their real sd card
So what's the current value in current culture if say one to posse, 600k trafficperday, or salesyearly in art, or anime, manga alikes? like maybe drawn in graph or map.
Your thoughts on this
These are meant to be glass?
>kek
Gimpbros is it out time?
Ligma sisters, I don't feel so good…
>>462337Lol should have sold to Adobe. I bet the suits regret it now.
Idiot traders think AI is going to replace dedicated graphic design apps.
How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology?Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely.
>>458256fpbp
>>459178true
>>460391I liked this one, ngl.
>>458255if it weren't for this we wouldn't have had doom
>>458267I'm just now realizing that this logo is a peacock, looking closely at it.
@grok is this true?
>>462322eyyy, read my messages carefully! I made sure to give a balanced answer and emphasize how it is not *just* them projecting, but how their description does indeed point at something real.
>>462327Lol, you said it too:>I think the person probably projected and overreacted.>their description does indeed point at something real.How can you know if you weren't there?
>>462328yea, they are probably projecting in this case AND pointing at something actual.>as I said, learn how to read carefully -.-
>>462276designers are only like this for their first couple of years, when they actually think what they do mattersafter many years, you realize you just want to finish each project as soon as possible, and get paid.>I want this horrible png/gif added to the website/flyer/design>here you go bro, knock yourself outthey're happy, I'm happy, and I get ready for the next project. huge chances they dislike it in the near future, and they're going to pay me to change it again
>>462339yeah i thought the latter attitude would be the default especially in the age of AI slops. the attitude some maintain comes off as extremely pretentious and borderline insulting if they don't even want to consider my input (they brand owner and one paying for the work their doing).if I was building a house I would definitely want the designer to listen to my input, not sure why this is somehow different to some redditfags
Anyone know how to improve the graphic design on my logo?
>>462319idk.unelongate the R-circle?
>>462319Did you intentionally design that to look exactly like a 3D version of the snickers logo?
>>462342bruh.why would you ask such a stupid question? haha
Super disheartening to see this. Any designer could have done an illustration, any number of local artists could have created a piece for this event. It's a seminal event that marks the reopening of Detroit’s Michigan central. Truly monumental moment for Detroit, highlighted by the crazy opening concert directed by Eminem and it wasn't worth getting a person to do the poster? Very sad.This is one of those moments in the history of ai that I will look back on with genuine disgust.A soulful event with a soulless AI facade.
>>455743even if that were the case it wouldn't make any arguments more or less valid. (?)
>>455711just an fyi it's been 14 months and you still look and sound retarded
>>455677>AI is le bad
>>460808who says they are not trying??and who says that talking about it with others is not part of trying?
>>455677It's way worse. They hired a "designer" Ave he convinced them that this is not ai, it maybe it's didn't even cross their mind to ask if this is ai.
AI slop pic dump incoming.
>>462316Grifter? How so? I’m flattered you think I have the charisma to grift.

>>462155ahahahah
>>460905sorry for being a newfaggot is there a board where esoteric 'schizo' shit like this is found? asking for Friends
I feel like its missing something. Maybe a diff picture of jesus would work better? Idk. Suggestions?
